Tell us what your business does: Tease is a cozy and chic, lounge-style salon providing hair and specialty services to the Northeast Ohio area.

We strive to provide each and every guest a UNIQUE and POSITIVE experience through our passion for beauty, creativity and customer service.

Where did you get the idea for your business? I have been in the salon industry for 20-plus years, working behind the chair and have always dreamed of owning my own salon. With the help and support of my wonderful husband Ron, I was able to make that dream a reality!

What makes your business unique? This is not your ordinary salon. This chic, new hot spot for hair has a completely different vibe than your average hair salon. It's a cozy, 5 chair, lounge style salon that offers a wide variety of hair and specialty services for both men and women, including hair extensions and facial waxing.

The décor is modern, trendy and sleek with its mixture of black leather, chrome and bling...lots of bling! From the glamorous, full length styling mirrors and large low profile styling chairs, to the custom-made, black tufted crystal reception desk, sleek leather reception furniture and the ambiance of the sparkling three sided fireplace with diamond-cut fire crystals, this salon has it all...and more! It's warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel like you're someplace really special.

How do you see current economic conditions affecting your business? So far things have been going great. We have had lots of walk ins and new clients coming into the salon, as well as our own current clients that have been coming to us for years at other salons we have worked at.

What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome thus far? The biggest obstacle I have found so far is finding a couple more great stylists that have an established clientele that will fit in with our team. It's important to find the right people when putting a staff together.

What are your plans for near-future growth? My plans for the future is to step back from working behind the chair so much and put my main focus on running the business and help my employees to grow their business so we can continue to all be successful in our careers, while giving clients a great place to get pampered and feel amazing about the way they look!
